Nice stay, no lift.

We stayed for 3 nights, it was on the top floor (2nd). Room space was adequate, not very spacious. It was a country style hotel with good vibes. But could do better with roome service as it is in middle of woods so you may see small insects if window is open.

Country living

This is a wonderful place to stay. It feels like the Scottish hunting lodge it was, solid and comfortable and close to the forest. The view over Loch Ness is perfect. The staff take very good care of you. The food is excellent. The location is convenient to all the Highlands. The bed is comfortable. There is a fine lounge downstairs and chairs on the lawn overlooking the loch. My only tiny complaint was that the toiletries and in room coffee came in tiny plastic packaging which caused a lot of difficult recycling.

Very quaint and charming hotel. Large and rustic rooms, but the walls are extremely thin. We had a family with young children staying above us, and the kids running around prevented us from sleeping.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was dirty and very dusty. Wall paper peeling off the walls. One medium size mirror on opposite side of room. Dinner was over priced and tasteless. Breakfast was undercooked food and raw eggs. Felt like one person doing check-in, managing bar, serving food and possibly cooking it too. Car park very confusing, need better signs. The whole hotel needs a spruce up. Very disappointed for the money spend on the stay here as felt it was the worst of all the places we stayed whilst on holiday yet the most expensive both for food and accommodation.
